In this episode of The North Idaho Experience Podcast, former first responders Eric, Dave, and Seth dive into The Pension Trap—the harsh reality many cops, firefighters, and veterans face when planning for retirement. They open up about why so many stay stuck waiting for pensions that may never deliver the lifestyle they hoped for, the physical and emotional toll of long public-safety careers, and what it really means to take control of your future before it’s too late.
You’ll hear real stories about identity loss after leaving the job, the myth of financial security through pensions, and how purpose, entrepreneurship, and family balance can reshape life after service. Whether you’re a first responder considering a career change or just rethinking what “retirement” means, this conversation hits home.
